@yesca I thought that I deleted this because I had nothing nice to say.

The broadcast was horrible. A wtf? pre-game show, the play-by play crew somehow missed the fact that a that there was a game going on, numerous screen freezes, odd camera apertures (looked like a video game), etc. etc. etc.

It was a hot mess but so is baseball these days and that's a shame because I love baseball.

Ok, I didn't watch this but...

Doesn't it seem that every time a broadcaster comss in and tries to get "innovative," they wreck things. Unless it's enhancing the game, don't do it. The Fox Puck comes immediately to mind.

The big exceptions: the score somewhere on the screen in any sport, and the digitally imposed scrimmage and 1st down lines on football broadcasts. Those let you come back in from grabbing nachos and know what's happening.

Sorry there were bugs, that sucks. I love Sunday Night Baseball and could use an extra baseball night. Thanks for your response.👍
